A Review of the Days Transac-
tiOns.

NEW YORK, May 5 There was more bust
ness at the Stock Exchange to-day, and a
continuance of the advance begun yester.
day. Improvement was particularly marked
on higher priced stocks. In the general list
the grangers were most prominent for
gains and Rock Island and Fort Worth and
Denver were the special features Of the day.
The latter advanced 79s per cent. by shortly
after II O'Clock on sqeeze Of shorts, though
insiders say that the earnings warrant a
further advance, and that three OF the large
roads section are seeking control. The
opening was steady to firm, and followed
by moderate business, in which Reading
and New England led. Fort Worth ana
Denver soon attracted attention by its usual
strength, althoueh the entire market was
firm to strong. The market under the lead
of the grangers showed strong upper quota
tions OF values, which was accompanied
after IL O'Clock by marked increase in the
amount of business done. A fractional re-
seton was started toward 2 P. NJ, but was
checked before the close, which was quiet,
but steady to firm, near tn. best prices OF
the day. Government bonds were duh and
steady.

property in the Azusa, known as Glad
stone. The complaint sets forth the
fact that plaintiffs owned said property,
and were trying to sell it and had placed
1t upon the market and were about to rake.
in the profits which should accrue to all
honest and we'll meaning real estate

published an article stating that the

sham, and the people who hal contem-
plated investing their money in Glad.

article and did not invest. The plaintiffs
allege that II the Times had not pub.

could have sold the property
at clear profit of 5000, 900.
